CHAPTER XXI.

AS [ looked up at his face, he SAID
gravely,
"I am very glad to meet you,
Miss Rembert, and | too, can tell
you something of your friends in
New York, as [ was so happy as to
meet them, and also to find that they
are the relatives of whom | have
often heard my father speak. L be-
lieve gou are also included in the
cousinship, are you not??"
Then my heart went down as l
replied, My mothers niece, Miss
Helen Graham, wrote me that she had
heard you preach. [ did not know
before that you were minister"
At this he laughed, not loudly,
but very merrily, as did also DR..
Walker; and then he said,
"I am almost sorry to be obliged
to disclaim so noble and sacred a
calling-that was ney brother Paul
who pleased our cousin Helen with
his fair face and his good preaching"
Then my poor heart came back to
its place, and my color also, and I
was nearer to feeling happy than I
had been for many weary days.
After an hour or two thus pleas
antly spent, Mrs. Vivian proposed
"a walk among the flowers" and we
soon found ourselves out among the
magnolias and jessamines.
The party became scattered as we
walked on, and very soon Philip
Sterling and I were standing near
the edge of the lake, where stood a
pretty rustic seat, and close by it a
marble "Naiad," against which he
stood and leaned, while [ took the
seat that he offered me upon the
rustic "sofa." "Now, Miss Rem
BERT" he said, COR may [ not say
cousin Lillian? /? tell me about my
poor Winnie. You can never know
how grateful | am to you for your
kind letter." | told him all that !
knew of her myself, and all that ]
had heard; also the events Of the
past night, suppressing only the ac-
count of the two midnight paroxysms
in which my own life SO narrowly
escaped. [ thought that if necessary
[ could tell him this at some Other
time, but I was so sure now of heI
speedy recovery that it seemed quite
needless to relate it to him at all
He listened, most earnestly, and ex-
citedly, as | told him of the treat
ment she had received, and of hel
calling SO constantly for him, and only
last night asking eff he had come.
"When can I see her." he ex-
claimed.
"I brought DR.. Walker for the
very purpose OF trying to restore hel
by the means that you have already
used SO successfully, as he saved DR.
Barron's lite and reason once whe1
he was raving with delirium aftel
having been, as he supposed, poison
ed with prusic acid-of course h
had not swallowed it-but the tn
belief and the fear made him for tn,
time almost a maniac, and Dr.
Walker cured him by magnetism.
Another cloud seemed to hav
suddenly rolled away, and thing
began to grow clearer and brighter
"You shall see her to-morro,
morning, Il said, and then | told hir
of my conversation with DR.. Barron
and his charge to 'E1et her sleep o
until he Philip could be present a
her waking"
From this we talked long an
earnestly, and he told me of h
chance meeting with his brother {
Weldon few weeks after h
(PauPs) return from Europe. q
was the "Phihp," then, after all
but not my hero!
After awhile he said:
ss'I wonder if you are the M.
Renabert' that Paul told me abou
who Sang SO divinely,' and locke

Again my heart throbbed, and
felt my color come and go, but b.
